Mik Artistik's Ego Trip
Saturday December 20th - 8.00 pm
Live Music Upstairs at the Commercial
Back for a third visit following his sell out concerts last year, hugely popular Leeds-based trio Mik Artistik’s Ego Trip are well known for their unique live performances. Their madcap antics deem every performance as not just a gig, but a truly momentous event - so much so that they have been entertaining the Glastonbury Festival for the last 12 years, along with many other major UK festivals, including Boomtown Fair, Latitude, and Wilderness. Not To Be Missed! :-) Early Booking Recommended

Astrid
Saturday April 26th 2025
Live Music Upstairs at the Commercial
Growing up in Shetland, Astrid Williamson enjoyed playing the piano from an early age and The Shetland Folk Festival provided early experience both of local music tradition and stagecraft.[ She went on to graduate from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama as a classically trained pianist.
She has released nine solo albums in all, recorded in various locations from Marseille to New Orleans, and Abbey Road to her Mum's house in Hadfield. (well, one bit of piano, anyway)
Her performance will doubtless include tracks from her latest release Into The Mountain (2022) featuring her atmospheric and sometimes ethereal vocal style, evocative lyrics and polished musicianship on guitar and piano.
“...honed songwriting, textures, storytelling, and above all, a heaven-bound and singular voice..." Popmatters

Aziz Ibrahim is a guitarist and composer known for his role as lead guitarist for Paul Weller, Asia, Simply Red and most notably, he was the guitarist for the last Stone Roses performance before they split, at the 1996 Reading Festival. After their split Ibrahim continued to tour and write with former Stone Roses front man Ian Brown. He is a particularly virtuosic musician, playing naturally in a style that reflects his Eastern heritage and has been described as "somewhere between raga and hard rock", while he describes the music on his album Lahore to Longsight as "Asian Blues". All in all, sounds like we're all in for a real treat. Not to be missed!

Tom Blackwell
Saturday 10th May 2025 8.00 pm
Live Upstairs at the Commercial
A welcome return for Tom Blackwell, following his appearance here last November! Tom has performed in many of the small venues across the North of England for over a decade. Anyone seeing his performances will have witnessed a truly sublime singer-songwriter distilling his blues, folk, soul and gospel influences into original songs punctuated with mournful harmonica and emphasised with expressive guitar.
In 2018 Blackwell released the first of his Memphis series of albums. The recordings are minimal, unadorned. There is nothing wasted or unnecessary cluttering the sound, just emotive vocals framed by quiet guitar and harmonica.
